When I was writing the score, I found a Dutch double 7 inch record with sounds of extinct birds on the streets of Rotterdam. I manipulated these found bird sounds by using electronics and added them to the score." - Jozef Van Wissem (composer) this is the soundtrack to the restored orignal 1922 film Nosferatu.Records.

“La Cinémathèque Française in Paris commissioned me to write and perform the score at the presentation of the restored version of Nosferatu. I was a bit overwhelmed by its success. It was sold out!
